Turkeygirl Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Going to join another league, there is one starting up Agust 8th, Weds. evenings, for 8 weeks, they count your top 4 scores then a 5th score at a final shoot the end of September. I am excited! About 25 minutes from home, or I can drive there from work so looks like I'll be packing my bow in the car on Wednesdays. Downside is on some of those I'll be on call for my job so I'll cross my fingers I don't get a phone call in the middle of shooting, lol:cell: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 yea i'm in an outdoor 3D league. shoot every Tues evenings with targets out to 40 yards. it's going to be about 15 weeks and your 12 best will be counted. it's a ton of fun and so far the weather has been pretty decent.

Turkeygirl Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Started the league last Weds.....10 targets, 1 shot each target, ring scores go 11, 10, 8, 5, 0 if you miss completely. Last week I scored 86 and was 11th out ofapprox. 30 + shooters, no women's division so this is against all other adults,lol. Last night scored 99....was in the 10 ring on 8 of the targets, other 2 scored an 8 and an 11. Even beat out a guy in the group I was with who really shoots 3D for competition....

dbHunterNY Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 sounds like you're shooting good Ruth.... haven't shot much lately just the 30 targets each week for league. seems like most weeks i punch the trigger on a target, miss, call myself a jack***, and then shoot fine. when i don't do it i seem to be into the 300's out of 30 targets. this next week word has it that the targets will be out there and it'll be hard. i'm guessing some may be close to 50 yards or so. i saw some unmarked targets that were that far out this past week.

Turkeygirl Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The end of this league they do a big shoot with 20 targets, counts for double points...should be exciting, lol. I've got my pins set to shoot out to 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 This week scored 92....down from the week before but I'm happy if I stay in the 90s...would like to try and get a 100 (all 10s)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 you're still doing alright. one piece of advice that i'd recommend that came from brady ellison.... don't go to shoot and think "alright now i need this 10 or i need all 10's." it puts added pressure and stress on your shoulders. let down if you think that. now just think "ok i need to do these things to make a good shot" and the good score should follow. it's similar to what you'd do if you're trying to keep yourself calm and in the right state of mind to shoot a deer without getting "buck fever".

dbHunterNY Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 i've saved scores and shot great after i caused myself to crack under pressure that i've put on myself with high expectations. other times it helps me just shoot well from the beginning. i think it might help you get your goal of 100, which is definitely obtainable just easier said than done.

Turkeygirl Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Last week shot a 99 which put me into 2nd place. This week shot a 93....blew the first shot and scored a 5 but made up some points with a few 11s. Will miss next 3 weeks due to new job but the 29th is the big shoot worth double points and I'll be at that:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 well i'll be missing my league shoots due to getting married. all these silly unimportant things getting in the way of our shooting. lol congrats on the good shooting.

Turkeygirl Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 lol db! Congrats to you! I forgot to mention the guy I shot with last night...I think it's the guy in first place, lol. all he did was hit 10s and 11s....geesh:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 the league started a pot. pay money to shoot. 3D deer target is 74 yards out. hit INSIDE the 11 ring and win the pot. setting up my backup bow with a more forgiving spring steel rest (opposed to a biscuit) and sighted for that distance. hunting setups only.

dbHunterNY Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 shot again tonight.... didn't shoot at the 74 yard buck. for normal league league shooting i ended up with a 300 even (out of 30 targets) for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I've found a few 3D shoots on the weekends but probably won't make any of them...they all seem to be on the weekends I work,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 shot again at the league... someone beat me by 3 points yesterday evening (we didn't shoot on Tues due to thunderstorms). shot a 296. didn't break 300 again. i had a long steep downhill shot where i punched the trigger instead of continuing to use backtension and good form. ended with a quartering away bear nailed in the front of the shoulder for a 5 instead of a 10 for that target. lol good thing it was foam.

Turkeygirl Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Still not a bad score!Yeah I'm missing the last 3 evening shoots at my league, but top 4 scores are averaged then the final shoot on the 29th is worth double points, thankfully it's in the AM so I can go:) I've been practicing alot on form and release...my weak areas.

dbHunterNY Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 last shoot is this afternoon... maybe i can close things out with a score over 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My last shoot is Saturday....20 target course, score is worth double points...will be fun:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 shot another 296/330. with another 5 on a target! :bang: won't win many touraments shooting that. At least i'm well off for deer season out to 40 yards, even if something happens to my rangefinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well I shot a 5 on one target today but overwell very happy with how I shot...couple of the shots I didn't do great one was shooter error. It was the final shoot this AM, shot a 194 on a 20 target course and believe I finished 7th in the entire league (mainly all male shooters, only 1 other woman that I know of, no women's division, so finishing in the top 10 I'm happy with. Now onto deer season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 yup onto deer season.... i didn't get to go to the banquet/party for the league i was in. i had to work. my brother picked up my trophy though. not sure what my average was or who placed above me, but i some how got 4th for the league. if i didn't miss the last shoot that i missed, i was told that i would've gotten at least 2nd. last handful of shoots that i did attend i averaged right at 300. i had to work though, so what can you do.
